England cricket captain Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff has said that his team were inspired to their recent five day test match victory over India by listening to a Johnny Cash track. The cricketer told BBC Sport: "We went in the dressing-room, had our lunch then played a bit of Johnny Cash, 'Ring Of Fire'. It got the lads going and we came out afterwards with a spring in our step."
The song was chosen by Flintoff's teammate Matthew Hoggard. "I'm the only guy that's sad enough to have Johnny Cash on his iPod," he said, "we had a rousing rendition and that seemed to do the trick."
For the record, we don't think it's sad to have Johnny Cash on your iPod.
